I didn't see the game, but I did wonder how the commentator pronounced his name!

On the same side as Stephen Patrick Morrissey?

Not sure, but the Cambridge coach later revealed he calls him "G" as he's not sure how to pronounce his name.

Pronouncing it phonetically like 'G-ear-oid' makes him sound like an extra hardcore illegal substance used by bodybuilders.

It's not that hard to pronounce when you actually are informed how- 'Ga-road' shouldn't be a stretch for the Cambridge boss.

I think the BT commentator got it right. I certainly didn't notice anything unusual anyway. Morrissey had a half chance too but he scuffed his shot pretty badly.

Bear in mind he's only heard it pronounced in a Cork accent and I'm sure you can sympathise.
